Not even a full vote by the House of Representatives to hold Lois Lerner in contempt can shake the networks out of their slumber in covering the IRS scandal. On Wednesday the House voted 231-178 (all Republicans voted yes with six Democrats) to hold Lerner in contempt for refusing to testify about the IRSs targeting of conservative groups. Total coverage by ABC, CBS and NBC? Just a 15-second brief on Thursdays edition of ABCs Good Morning America.
However the Big Three networks did find the 110x more time this week to tout the dire and alarming findings from the White House climate change report.
In total ABC, CBS and NBC (from Tuesday morning through Wednesday morning) spent a whopping 27 minutes and 37 seconds on the Obama administrations climate change scare-mongering.
ABC and NBC even sent their weather reporters to interview the president. ABC meteorologist Ginger Zee fretted: Climate change is something that I think a lot of people don't put as a top priority. How do you change that? NBC Today show weatherman pressed: Why has it taken so long to get to this point where youre sounding this urgency?
But so far the following Amy Robach 15-second brief from the May 8 Good Morning America represents the total amount of coverage devoted to the Lerner contempt vote by the networks:
AMY ROBACH: And in Washington, six Democrats have joined Republicans in the House, voting to hold a former IRS official in contempt of Congress. Lois Lerner has pleaded the Fifth and refused to testify about the agencys targeting of conservative groups. That case will now be sent to the Justice Department.
While the Lerner contempt vote didnt capture much attention from the Thursday morning shows there were some topics the networks deemed much more important.
ALL of it here
